1
Muddle the Mint and Sugar
In a sturdy glass, add the fresh mint leaves and granulated sugar. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently press the mint leaves against the sugar, releasing the mint oils. Do this for about 10-15 seconds until the mixture is fragrant.
2
Add Lime Juice
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice of one half into the glass with the mint and sugar mixture. You can also drop in the spent half of the lime for extra flavor. Muddle gently again to combine.
3
Mix in the Rum
Pour the white rum into the glass and stir gently to combine all ingredients.
4
Add Ice
Fill the glass with ice cubes, packing them in tightly to keep the drink cold.
5
Top with Club Soda
Slowly pour the club soda over the ice and rum mixture. Stir gently to combine without losing the carbonation.
6
Garnish and Serve
Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass. Serve immediately with a straw.
